I will take care of you.

Nightmares.

I woke up feeling like the bed was shaking. Taking a moment to assess what was going on I looked down noticing it was Katsuki shaking in his sleep. His small body trembling, and a look of discomfort on his face.

"Hey..." I spoke softly, not trying to startle him.

My efforts were in vain as his eyes widened, and he flinched away from my body aggressively.

"J-just stop! Please! I don't want to! It will hurt them! Please!" A strained sob escaped his lips as he curled into himself.

"Hey... sweetheart remember you're safe here... nobody is hurting you..." I continued using a soft tone, letting off calming pheromones as I got closer to him.

He looked up, studying my face a moment before his body relaxed and he dove into my arms. I held him close to me, gently stroking his hair and rubbing his back. His trembling slowed after a while and he finally stopped sobbing so violently.

"I've got you... do you want to talk about your dream?" I asked, still rubbing circles on his back.

"Th-they killed them." He took a shaky breath.

"Killed who...?" I asked, his distress made me feel uneasy.

"M-my babies! I-I was pregnant... and h-he hit me s-so hard!" He choked on another sob, "I-I couldn't protect them! I-I bled so m-much and they w-were gone..."

My heart ached... "I'm so sorry..." I said softly, holding him more firmly against me.

I tried to hold my anger in, the thought of harming a omega... a pregnant omega set my insides on fire with rage. I bit my tongue trying to soothe him and ignore my own feelings on the matter.

"Y-you wouldn't h-hurt our kits w-would you? If y-you end up g-getting me pregnant..." he choked out looking up at me.

"If you decide to even do such things with me that would cause a pregnancy... I would never even think to harm you or our kits, baby boy..." I moved his hair, and kissed his forehead.

He blushed, "I-if I decide?" He asked looking confused.

"I'm not going to force you into sexual acts either, sweetheart. I promised not to hurt you, and rape would be harmful... I find rape disgusting and immoral. You won't catch me stooping so low." I explained.

"D-do you not want me?" He seemed insecure now.

I sighed, "That's not it at all. You are absolutely beautiful and I would love to spoil you... but I will not force you into anything you are not ready for."

He teared up again, "Pl-please don't get rid of m-me..."

"No one will own you again after me." I stated, his face flushed a bright red, and he buried himself back into me. "I promise you that."

I wanted to tell him about freeing him in 6 months but given the situation I felt it was inappropriate to talk about right now... I just wanted to make him feel better in this moment. His distressed pheromones were making my Alpha whine desperately to help him...

"Y-you're so... nice... and I-I don't understand wh-why but... your scent... is... c-calming. Alpha's scents usually m-make me feel so uneasy..." he said looking up at me.

I kissed his forehead once more, "Have you heard of fated pairs, kitten?"

He nodded, "Is that even r-real?"

"It's real. It's not common... there are so many people know that fated pairs don't meet as often... and while I have always fought for Omegas rights, and against the abuse of Omegas... your scent makes me want to do absolutely anything to make you feel better..." I explained.

"M-my scent? Really?" He seemed surprised, "Usually... I'm t-told I smell t-too sweet... that's it gives Alphas headaches..."

"They we're being mean. You smell amazing... however I've never smelt someone's distress so strongly before, my Alpha growls continuously when it feels you're in pain or upset." I said, moving hair from his eyes so I can see him better.

"M-my omega... whines wh-when you even go into another room..." he admitted looking down.

"I see... I'll try to stick closer to you if that's what you want..."

"Y-you don't have to..."

"I want to make you happy." I said a bit more serious, "I want to see your pretty smile, one you truly mean. I want you to feel at ease, and cared for instead of scared." I gently caressed his cheek.

"So... if we are fated mates... y-you could m-mark me?"

"If that's something you want, marking is entirely up to the Omega." I smiled, it was the one thing they had complete control of. No one could force an Omega into being marked, if they rejected you truly your bite would be only a bite. "If you do decide to be marked by me make sure you think it through properly. I don't want you to regret it... or feel obligated to. Just because we are fated mates, doesn't give me anymore right to you."

He nodded, looking down a moment. I pulled him a bit closer to me, my hand tracing small circles on the small of his back. "You should really get some more sleep if you can, Sweetheart."

He nodded, "I...- I am tired..." he yawned.

"I'll be right here when you wake up, or if you have another nightmare." I promised kissing the top of his head softly.

His light purring put my inner Alpha at ease.
